7 Photos of Ardhita Who Released Debut Song 'Stupidly', Inspired by a Toxic Relationship She Once Experienced

The song Stupidly raises the theme of foolishness when someone falls in love. Ardhita feels that many people will be able to understand the lyrics he wrote because they stem from a universal feeling about love that blinds.

"Sometimes we know it's wrong, but we still go through with it. I believe many people have been in that phase," said Ardhita about the message in the song.

Not only singing, Ardhita also writes his own songs. However, he still received support from Jerricoev, who became the arranger and creative mentor during the song production process. "I provide the material and it's developed by Jerry, the experience I went through myself, at that time I was still dating, not yet an ex, but now it's over," said Ardhita.

The music video for this song was also produced on a large scale by renowned photographer and director Rio Motret. The shooting location was chosen in Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara, at the special request of Ardhita and his mother, Asrilia Kurniawati.

"Why Sumba? Because it was indeed the request of Ardhita and her mother. The nature that wants to be explored. She is great at riding horses without a saddle or stirrup, there’s a scene that showcases Dhita's skills," explained Rio Motret.

Her mother, Asrilia Kurniawati, also has a background in the music world. She even had plans to become Ardhita's producer, before finally giving full trust to Jerricoev. "Lia has seen Dhita since she was little. Her father initially wasn’t sure about Dhita, even though people said her voice was soothing. At first, Lia wanted to produce, but Dhita chose Jerry," said Asrilia.

As a singer who was also once an equestrian athlete, Ardhita brings a unique side to her work. She is not hesitant to express herself with lyrics in English, which she feels come naturally. "When writing a song, whatever comes to mind, I just write it down," said Ardhita.
